I'll bet they did.

So please explain why Arnold, worth $400 million at the time of the recall, went to Wall Street to raise $400,000 start his campaign. It left him with the obligation to use New York brokerage houses to underwrite the first $15 billion in bonds pursuant to Prop 57 & 58. He snuck provisions into those propositions to blow off the Gann limits while claiming to "cut up the credit cards." By using NY firms, it cost California a cool $250 million in revenue compared to California brokerage houses, not to mention the revenue on the economic activity associated therewith. In short, by going straight to his handlers for money he was setting up a criminal malfeasance on the order of AT LEAST $350 million and probably more.

Given all that, do you really believe this was a matter of stupidity? Really? If you do, you are either deliberately callow or willfully engaged in wishful thinking to excuse your lack of research prior to the recall election.

So please explain...

Huh? You're asking me to explain your research after I just agreed with you about Arnold being unduly influenced by "his handlers". You've lost me.

...do you really believe this was a matter of stupidity? Really? If you do, you are either deliberately callow or willfully engaged in wishful thinking to excuse your lack of research prior to the recall election.

Ok, I get it. You're perfect. You did all the research and predicted all of this, well prior to Arnold's election, right? And all of us conservatives who reluctantly voted for this man are now making excuses for our dismal lack of due diligence?

Post the URL to where you stated all these things in public, prior to Arnold's election, or you're going to out yourself as a liar and a drive-by character assassin.
